How does God's sovereignty work through human failures?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty governs all events, including human failures, to fulfill His eternal purposes.

The doctrine of God's sovereignty asserts that He is in control of all aspects of creation, including human actions and failures. In the case of Samson, despite his sinful choices and moral failures, the narrative reveals that God's purpose was still accomplished. Judges 14:4 states, 'But his father and mother knew not that it was of the Lord,' indicating that God orchestrates events even when individuals stray from His will. This assures believers that God can use our shortcomings for His glory, continually working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Understanding this sovereignty provides hope and confidence that our failures do not thwart God’s ultimate plan, but serve as a canvas for His grace to be displayed.
